4. Three Ways to Determine Reliabilty

4.1. Retest Methods

4.1.1. Materials

4.1.2. Personel

4.1.3. Services

4.1.4. Duration

4.2. Alternative Form Method

4.3. Requirements

5. Reliability is when assessments are consistent in their measurement results.

5.1. Project Start

5.1.1. Project specifications

5.1.2. End User requirements

5.1.3. Action points sign-off

5.2. Development Stage 1

5.2.1. Define actions as necessary

5.3. Development Stage 2

6. Importance to Learning and Assessment

6.1. A reliable test can help teachers and administrators use the test results to make appropriate decisions.
